I knew someone that thought he talked to Christina Aguilera, but he really didn't. It was just some bitch in the psych ward that thought she was actualy Christina Aguliera. 🙄

I am in Wilmington. Frank Capra is a regular in the office. Warner Bros. is one of our biggest customers with over 500 phones so we get the "One Tree Hill" crew in here all the time.

I've only had a few Same-Names, but no famous people. By that right, I've spoken with Michael Jackson, James Brown and Michael Jordan.

At my last job at a nearby mall, I met several members of the St. Louis Rams and Cardinals- Marshall Faulk, Adam Archuleta, Kevin Curtis and Dexter McCleon were all regular customers, as was Cards catcher Mike Matheny.

And I had a customer once named Michael Bolton. The following exchange took place as I was entering his data into our customer management system:

Me- "What's your first name?"
Him - "Michael."
Me- "Last name?"
Him- "Bolton.
Me- "Really? B-O-L-T-O-N?"
Him- "Yes."
Me- "You've seen Office Space,right?"
Him- "Yes, I have."
Me- "Then that's all I'm gonna say about ...

At my old job, I had a customer who told me his name was "Buddy Head." The only thing funnier was that this was a nickname, and his real name was "Hardy Head" 🤣

Got Ricard Petty (the race car driver) once. On the "funny" side I've talked to Charlie Brown, Ricky Rocks, Carl Marks, Bruce Lui, William Ryker, Sommer Storm and Candy Devine. Yeah, I keep a list.

Best Company Name: Dirt Bros Excavating

Best Question: Do you have the John Deer clock with Tractor-Action sound?

Hey! I talked to Charlie Brown too, and so did a co-worker of mine. That guy makes a lot of calls to care I think... I've also talked to a Michael Jackson, but he introduced himself as Mike. When I transferred him to telesales to add lines to his acct, the sales rep said "Good morning Michael!" and he said "MIKE!" very sharply. I wouldn't want to be known as Michael Jackson either these days. ;)

bwahahaha

That reminds me of Michael Bolton in Office Space.

"Why should I change? He's the one who sucks!"

Then later, when he's talking to the Bobs...

"Michael Bolton..."
"No, it's just Mike."
